Kitten experts help me out! lol?

Cats are like people and have different personalities. I'd give her her space. Using a fishing pole type toy with a long tail to play with her may help her warm up to you. Bribing with food can work but I wouldn't force affection on her. That would just confirm her distrust. She may never be what you'd call a lap cat. I had a cat that all she did was lounge like a queen ontop of the console TV, looking at the peons that passed her way and would deign to allow us to pet her. But never, never pick her up or cuddle. Just give the new kitty some time and maybe she'll surprise you.

It sounds like shes got a touch of the green eyed monster.

shes seen you with the other kitten (who is probably her sister which explains the jelousy even more) and thinks you are taking her friend away from her. why should she allow you to befirend her? the person who stole her kitty friends friendship? this is how you kitten is feeling right now if they are sister and sister.

If they arent siblings or knew each other before they came to your home, she is probably just scared. shes just came into this big house and hasnt got a clue where she is. and theres already a kitten in the house. shes just a little un-settled. if she has had access to the whole house as soon as she came into your home, and everyone was around her, this is even more frightening for her! she should have been left in one room with everything she needs, and one person go in ans sit down and wait for her to come to you. NEVER be the first one to make a move, she will have a fear of beong picked up for the rest of her life!

if you have let her loose in your whole house, i suggest putting her in one room, and going in every so often sitting near her with a hand full of treats. she will come over and investigate and eventually, she will associate a person with a good thing (food) and then you can allow her out of that one room. she will then start going up to people, and the people who she goes up to should put out thier index finger so she can rub her face on it. its a kind of kitty hello. she will warm up to you eventually, dont worry, it will just take patience and a lot of love.

hope i helped!

Some cats are just slower to warm up to people than others. And some kittens are more fearful than others. You don't say where you got the kittens, so it's hard to say if their earlier environment had anything to do with one kitty's temperament.

I'd suggest that you be patient with your shy kitten. She may feel overwhelmed with her new environment, especially if she's used to being in a cage. If you put her in a room of her own, with her own dishes, litterbox, toys, bed, etc., she might start to feel less insecure.

The best way I know to help bring a shy cat out of her shell is to use the lure of food. Shy cats usually hide under chairs or sofas, or in corners behind things. Get the stinkiest soft food you can get and place it in a bowl near where she's hiding. Sit in her room with her and read quietly or do something else completely non-threatening--maybe watch TV (not a violent action movie with lots of explosions and stuff). Basically, just hang out with her. When she peeks her nose out to eat the food, speak very softly to her and call her a good, brave kitty and the like. Do this on a daily basis, and each time, bring the food a little bit closer to you until it's just about in front of you.

When she gets close enough, and she starts eating touch her very gently--barely brush her fur with your fingertips. She'll act startled and hop back for a moment, but she'll be hungry enough that she'll come back to the bowl. Keep touching her very gently (and don't approach from the top of her head if you can help it) until she begins to associate you with food and pleasure. Eventually she may start to rub against your legs and even hop into your lap.

Once your kitten begins to be more trusting of humans, other members of the family can come into the room and gently talk to her and play with her using "thing on a string" type toys and the like.

You could consider enhancing this treatment a feline pheromone diffuser in the room where the kitten is living. This product, commonly sold under the brand name Feliway or Comfort Zone, mimics the "happy cat" pheromones cats release when they rub on objects with their heads. It can help to calm a skittish cat, stop spraying and fighting behavior, etc. This product is usually available at veterinarians' offices and some pet stores; it can also be ordered online through reputable animal supply outlets.

This process may take a couple of weeks, but it'll be worth it if you can make your kitten less stressed out.

Don't be surprised if the kitten forms a very close bond with the person in your family who took the time to "rehabilitate" her. She may still be a little skittish around other people, but as she grows and learns she'll get more comfortable with the rest of your family.

What I have learned is that you should not make eye contact with the cat, because to the cats that is kind-of a threat I think that is right, you should have treats out for the cat to eat and have toys to show that you are not a threat the cat and that you want to be its friend. That what I think that I heard that you should do if a cat does that hissing thing and runs like a mad man.

I keep in mind as soon as seeing a programme that had those cat that wherein breed with brief legs i feel they will had been referred to as dwarf cats. They crisis used to be there wherein susceptible to issues. They gave the impression of average cats however simply with brief legs. I do not feel there's any breed that remains watching like a kitten a few breeds are simply smaller that others.

Some cats just aren't as sociable as others. My female won't let us pick her up without a lot of fussing, but we can pet her all day if we want to. I guess they're like people and just have different personalities.

Hi,

I have had many kittens in the past and i also had this problem, have you tried to leave her alone with some of your clothing to get used to your scent and/or try to hand feed her to get her used to you and to know she is not in any danger around you.

Hope this helped,

Try leaving her alone for a while or give her some treats.She'll come around eventually.

she may feel threatened by the other cat or maybe just prove to her that your'e the one who loves her and cares alot about her.

try buying some cat toys and cat treats.
